Is it me?
or does anyone like tokens more than coins. Although I have not found a token and about 45 coins all modern. The tokens are so fascinating to me. Is there a good url to learn more about them? They seem to have just as much complexity as coins, but probably not worth as much. Thanks.

Hi Wayne....I still like the thrill of digging up old silver coins...Something about how shiny and new they look when you dig them up...Tokens are cool also, but I like the older silver....That's just me..It's all good as long as you find it.....Buster...

I'd be thrilled with either one! I haven't found a thing this year other than trash. Being a soapmaker, I do have a small collection of soap tokens though and would love to actually find one instead of buy it. :)
Someone posted some dog tags (the animal kind) a while back and I thought those were quite interesting too.

I really like tokens they are so unique. I like to find the different shaped ones and oddball ones. Chuck E Cheese, and gaming tokens are not as cool as the old ones.
My favorite though is old silver coins. I really like them, Beale.

I've found a total of 6 tokens & have been thrilled to find them, I really love finding tokens, not a lot of old silver down here in Fl so I love seeing that 'no cash value' on the back, I get as excited as I would finding old silver.
